Banksticks

Post by Gone Fishing »

Hi gents,
my new banksticks are finally ready :Wink: . I've been tinkering with it for a year... and now I'm looking forward to using it on the water soon. My dear mother-in-law made the sheath especially for these batons from heavy brown fabric. Great, I can't do that. Many thanks again at this point :Thumb: . I didn't have any split cane left for the banksticks, so I used oak sticks. I made the brass parts on my lathe and a bender. For the wraps I used Prowrap yarn with a few coats of boat varnish. Oh yes, to protect the rod I put silicone hoses on the rod holders.
Best regards
Markus

You are an artist. They are beautiful.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.
